Anyone used them?

They are ridiculously cheap, 120/180 set is £117 delivered...

I've used Savas on my pit bike sm, and they're good. Wondering if they are worth a try.

No first hand experience, but the recall doesn't fill me with confidence, and if we're honest, for the most part the only difference between the majority of modern tyres is our confidence in then.

For a couple of quid more you could get some of these Pirelli's?

They were actually £117 too a few weeks back when I bought a new pair.

Ive used 2 sets of Sportforce+. One on my old ZRX and a pair on my current Fazer.

For the price they are brilliant. Good in the wet too. I got about 3k to the rear on my ZRX. Commuting, weekends and some motorway miles.

The recall was for the Sportforce. Non of these are in production anymore and have all been recalled and replaced with the Sportforce+. ( Bit better effort than Conti made a few years ago.... )

I thought they were worth a shot for the price and was pleasantly surprised.

We use Mitas/Sava scooter tyres in the pitbike racing, and they are better than I thought they'd be. Can't really comment on road tyres though.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

How would they compare to say, pilot powers?

Would you trust them on track?

Ive used other tyres from them on track ( MC50 and MC16 ) and found them to be pretty damn good. The MC50 is one of the best tyres ive used on light/middle weight bikes.

Although, Ive not had chance to try the Sportforce on track, yet, but I am keen to when I get time. To me, they feel a little like the old Diablo Corsa 3's in the way they turn in and feel. Which I like. Compared to Powers they arent as 'pointy' and the sidewalls are much harder, but then I dont really like Powers on anything bigger than a 400cc as theres too much sidewall flex at the limit. Like them even less on track.



Try them and report back? What are you fitting them to?
